Woman ends up in jail after Highway 12 crash near Pasco. But who was driving?

A woman ended up in jail after she was involved in an crash early Saturday but it’s not clear if she caused the collision.

A 2005 Nissan Sentra was heading north on Sacajawea Road in Pasco around 5:35 a.m., said the Washington State Patrol in a news release. As the Sentra crossed Highway 12, it hit a Kia Sedona in the intersection.

When troopers arrived, they found Sofia Ayala, 36, of Yakima, in the car. She told investigators someone else was driving, but she didn’t know his name or any details about him, Trooper Chris Thorson said.

Investigators are still looking into whether someone else was driving.

A passenger in the Sedona, Naw E. Htoo, 31, of Kennewick, was taken to Lourdes Medical Center. Her condition was not immediately available. The Sedona’s driver, Aung San, 37, of Prescott, was not hurt.

Troopers soon learned Ayala had a warrant for escaping community custody. She also was treated at Lourdes and booked into the Franklin County jail.
